An American arrested in Pakistan for trying to board a plane while carrying pistol ammunition is likely a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent; however, US media described him as an agency staffer.
The man was held at Karachi airport Monday when security staff found 15 9mm bullets in his luggage during routine checks for a flight to Islamabad.
A US citizen, later identified as an agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), was detained at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi on Monday after airport security discovered 15 rounds of 9mm caliber bullets and a pistol clip in his luggage.
Joel Cox was attempting to board a domestic flight to Islamabad when the Airport Security Force (ASF) made the discovery. He was then handed over to the airport police station, where a case was lodged against him under section 23 1 (a) of the Sindh Arms Act, 2013.
On May 6, the judicial magistrate in district Malir, Adam H Ishaque, remanded the suspect to police custody until May 10.
Senior police officer Rao Anwar stated that Cox failed to provide legal permission for carrying the bullets. US officials in Pakistan confirmed the arrest of an American citizen, and a US embassy spokesperson said they were coordinating with Pakistani authorities to resolve the matter. Carrying firearms or ammunition on commercial flights is prohibited. CNN reported early on Wednesday that the detained individual was an FBI agent.
Every thing is not tradeable @ NR 🙂
But she shouldn’t be go like Raymond Devis.
Lets say ….. Hang — Hang —- Till Death 🙂
My apologies, atleast i didn’t write “gay” like the guy did at blogs :). lets chorus
Lets say ….. Hang — Hang —- Till Death 🙂
I am really shocked to read the Foreign Office statement, they have officially acknowledged it. This is the first time foreign office has issued a statement.
For me it looks like he was trapped 🙂 Otherwise, i wasn’t expecting this from a spy. woh b FBI ka. A spy makes sure he/she is clean before heading to airport.
What do you know.. The Bozo really was a wanna be James Bond.. But without an iota of his trademark panache!
Tsk Tsk.. Either they hold us in extreme contempt… Or their standards have really taken a swan dive.
The Davis case already had created deep suspicion on both sides. We are so called the alliance. Pakistan officially cooperate on fighting militancy US always takes advantage of this.
I think, now PK should take a stand on this.
What I cant understand is. What is the point of carrying bullets without a gun. What was he going to do.. throw em at would be assailants? At least Davis Bhaiya had a gun to go with the ammo.
FO made official after Joel Cox, confirmed by the U.S. State Department as an FBI agent. He had yet to leave the court, a witness said. Bail conditions included a payment of 1 million rupees. The Govt. can challenge the bail but since the offence is not serious enough they might not challenge.
Raymond Davis, shooting dead two men, which he believed were about to rob him in Lahore. Infact both were Paki spy, Alas, our agencies didn't own them. Shame on
That’s why i believe he was trapped by his own people 🙂 I am sure someone from their end did it purposely.
ANyone who carries ammo in an airplane while thinking ‘oh-its-only-pakistan-they-probably-dont-even-know-what-an-xray-machine-is deserves to be caught. At least that greek student who got caught last year had more imagination..
He tried to stuff a Glock in a laptop!
Either he was “Jhony English” or he was trapped. lol I totally agree with Narmeen.
This is aftermath of carrying weapons 😉
no guns no arrest 😉
Aik Paanja laga, tay subay kuj buk paye ga.. 😉
